YUCCA has spent the past month in a period of deep strategic planning – taking a step back from much of our day-to-day work to sharpen our vision, strengthen our strategies, and prepare for the fights that lie ahead.
As we enter the final phase of this strategic planning period and prepare for the work to come, we're building the team we need to meet this moment with the bold demands, disruptive action, community care, and narrative strategy that it demands.
Until May 15th, we're accepting applications for a Communications Manager and Communications Coordinator – two key roles that will help lead YUCCA's external communications, tell the story of our fight for climate justice, challenge the dominant narratives that enable continued extraction, and bring more people into our collective movement for change.
This is a powerful opportunity to step into a movement-rooted communications role directly supporting youth-led, community-driven campaigns for real climate and environmental justice – if you have previous communications experience and are excited about working alongside young people and community members to fight for the just and livable future we know is possible, one of these positions could be your next role!
